Contest:The Next Apprentice

About

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

"Camp Half-Blood is the pioneer in the introduction of apprentice Oracles. While the Oracle of Delphi is considered as the original and the best of all Oracles in the world, I believe that it is imperative to have more than enough resources, should circumstances arise. As such, apprentices are inducted and trained so that they are able to assist their seniors. They may even succeed them at a certain point in the future. This is why I am now searching for the successor of my oracle, Mavis, the Oracle of Levadeia. If you think you are worthy of being under her tutelage and my service, then do not hesitate to grasp the opportunity. I should warn you, however, that the path you are taking is no easy task. Prove me your worth. I shall be waiting."

– "Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey."

Entries - Apprentice Oracle of Levadeia

Contests are now being handled a bit differently. Instead of having one big long page of everyone's histories, you'll enter your character name below and create a new page. The list will automatically be created as pages are made. Make sure to add your user name on the page somewhere, you may even use your own special user category that's used on your character pages to make sure we know who's claim is whose (or put your name in the title, like "Jim Brown - Bach's Entry"). Each month the category must be changed in order for the list to function properly without listing old contest entries, it needs to be changed below, as well as Here.
